I’m delighted to kick start my parenting podcast, Beyond Good Intentions, with an interview from my dear friend Linda. From infertility to raising teens, we talk about it all, and have a bunch of laughs along the way!

Linda now raises her family in Illinois, but for 5 years, she lived down the street from me in Texas. We figured out the toddler parenting thing together. You’ll hear the story of how we met, but also Linda’s heart as she’s raising her 4 children amidst initial challenges with infertility.

Our conversations start with the story of her intense teen years growing up in a family with 8 kids. She shares what her mother did that made all the difference. We continue on, discussing how she parents 3 teens herself (plus a younger child). She and I discuss figuring out the different communication needs of each child and the importance of validating. We go on to discuss the zone system with household jobs, and the cell phone challenge that all parents deal with.

We may go off onto a few tangents, but I believe in those details are where the real stories take place.

I just started listening to your podcast, and am so grateful that you started with this interview. I am pregnant with my second, and struggled with secondary infertility and being diagnosed with PCOS. Even though I know I’m not the only one who has had this experience, it’s nice to gather strength from others of the same faith. My faith was really tested with the infertility challenges, but I am happy to say, it all makes sense why we had to go through this.
